THIS IS definitely A SCAM. The email was missing information that made me query its authenticity. So I went onto a online chat site which I thought was the correct Norton site.
The so called agent Deborah Mullen after chatting online with her for alittle while, made me suspicious I was being scammed. She wanted me to keep the online chat opened so I could access the link to put payment through. She wouldn't email the link & said the special discount offer was only valid for a day or until she finished her shift or I can contact them again & 1 of the other agents would help me. I asked her to clarify what a day meant & she replied 'Our offices close at 8pm'. So I made up an excuse- said I lost my credit card & needed to organise a ride into the bank to organise funds & 8pm should be enough time to get things organised.

I unfortunately bumped/ closed the site I was chatting with Deborah.

I contacted the 'real' Norton site & they confirmed both Adam Zampa & Deborah Mullen are not Norton agents.
They are investigating this further.
